Hello.
I just wanted to share with others that I’m one of those that has inherited this “royal thumb”. I’m expecting and I’m really hoping that my baby doesn’t inherit this as well haha..I’ve always been a bit shy about my thumbs and I don’t want my child to be like that..

For the longest time, I was searching for the medical term for this “clubbed thumb” on my left hand. Alas, I found it when news of Megan Fox having brachydactyly. I saw the motorola commercial and her thumb looks like mine. My dad is short as well as her six sisters! And they all have this shortness on their extremeties. Two of his brothers are of average height. Then I found out that BDE can be a dominant trait. I guess i have inherited this from my dad. The downside of having small hands is I can’t fit into average hand gloves. I had some nursing training, the gloves were always a problem because they don’t have XS gloves in the hospital On the up side, I can easily reach down the kitchen cabinet where my husband can’t. Just want to share my story.

Ive been on a quest to find out about these thumbs. I have them, my daughter and my uncle both have them. I am a nurse and I come across them all the time. Do you know of a book that would be fun to read about them?

Gee…

I never knew that there were something called “Brachydactily” and a profession as a “hand analyst”. Two new things I learned from this blog today….hehe

Due to inbreeding, this was a common condition among royalty.
It’s also very common in West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas.
